Mick Carter's been drifting a while now- moving from job to job, never staying one place long. Jumping a box-car to his old home town, he witnesses a violent murder, is pursued by hi-tech soldiers, thrown in a reservoir and drowned.
And that's just the start of Mick's problems.
His consciousness ripped away, thrust back into his own body seconds before his death...
Framed for the killing he witnessed, tormented by his own past, and haunted by the feeling that something followed him back from the other side...
Follow Mick as he's sucked headfirst into a lunatic web of shadowy corporations, murder, and the thousand-year obsession of a madman.
The Drifter is our take on a classic 2d point and click adventure, with the brake-lines cut. The focus is on fast-paced storytelling, with puzzle-solving being the glue that ties it together. Mick's a practical guy, and so puzzles are down-to-earth too, designed to be unobtrusive, and give an investigative feel.
We're keeping the pacing quick and lean, you'll never be wandering around lost or confused- Mick is propelled through the story at a good clip, from one situation to another, with barely a moment to catch his breath. One minute you'll be crafting a Molotov cocktail from a bottle of over-proof rum, the next interrogating a crooked neurosurgeon before swinging from a high-rise window by a fraying extension lead.

Great point and click adventure
Superb story, beautiful art and really good puzzles. Some puzzles are a bit convoluted but nothing out of the ordinary really

More of this please!
Point and click veterans might find the "puzzles" a bit easy as this is more an interactive novel, but the story-telling is superb! Highly recommended!

A worthy experience
If you are a fan of old school pixel-art graphic adventures this is a great game to play. The story is engaging and the puzzles are enjoyable, neither too easy nor frustratingly difficult. For its price it's totally worth it.

Back to the Pixel
Great advenmture in the style of the old classics. More convenient user interface adequate for the modern times. I love the setting, the atmosphere, the story, the characters and the Australian accent. A must buy if you are into point and click from time to time. Pixels are not dead!

What a gem
Ok, bought this on a whim and am so happy i did. The Drifter is an old school point and click with slick pixel graphics, a fitting soundtrack and great voice acting. Puzzles are enjoyably logical and the flow of the story is well paced. Not gonna spoil the story, I thought it was a nice spin on old ideas with quite likeable characters which are brought to life by the aforementioned great voice acting. According to my playtime it took me around 7 hours to complete. If you are a point & click fan, you really owe it to yourself to play this one. I am certainly keeping an eye out for future games from these guys.
